The 7th Annual National PREA Coordinators Conference
July 29-31, 2025, in Madison, Wisconsin
Thank you to everyone, not just for attending our conference, but for showing up fully. We encourage you to continue the conversations that challenged and inspired, and to remain open to new ideas while standing firm in your values.
We hope this week offered more than just schedules and lectures. We hope that it gave you space to reconnect with old colleagues, forge new partnerships, create new ideas, and even discover a favorite corner of the beautiful city of Madison.
We hope you carry with you a renewed sense of purpose and the understanding that you are not alone in this work. Your dedication continues to move our mission forward, one thoughtful step at a time.
Until next year – when we gather in the hills of West Virginia – thank you, stay safe, and keep leading with courage.

Our Programs
Through conferences and other professional events, as well as open and honest dialogue with oversight and outreach entities, we advance the work of PREA Coordinators, PREA Compliance Managers, Investigators, and others who combat custodial sexual victimization.
Our Impact
From our humble beginnings in early 2019 as a working group, we have reached hundreds of practitioners through annual conferences and other outreach to help elevate sexual safety in corrections, community confinement, and juvenile facilities. Through their collective work, we have delivered vital services to thousands of incarcerated people.
